Hwy 191, I believe. If so, that is is a mighty nice ride, which I savored in late October.
I was there in April. Early in the morning there was frost on the road in some corners. I never slipped, but this old Arkansas boy isn't used to that.
I love that road and will do it again.
A rider on a BMW a few minutes ahead of me went down after hitting sand on the fog line while setting up for a left hander. On the right was a 500' drop. He was lucky that he did not high side or slide to the right or he would have had many, many scrapes and bruises instead of a scraped arm and banged up body. I helped him up and stayed with him until we got to Clifton. His bike was rideable and he had shaken off his spook by then.
Even that did not lessen my enjoyment of the ride.
It's a terrific road. I was headed out to visit a friend in Apache Junction and took 191 from I-40 and spent the night in Springerville. I left there early the next morning, thus the frost on the road. Hwy 191 has everything. Some of the sections had tight turns that were really hard to find a line through. I'd think I found the apex, and it'd move on me
OK, I know that makes no sense, but I'd find myself having to adjust mid-corner -- something I try not to do. Then other sections would be extremely nicely laid out turns when I could just press into it, hit the apex, and ease back out. It can be very challenging. Since I was all by my lonesome and only saw a couple of other vehicles in 70+ miles, I took it easy -- not a place to crash by yourself. The BMW rider was also lucky you even found him.
